WT Forums

The Washington Post's Mensa Invitational once again asked readers to take any word from the dictionary, alter it by adding, subtracting, or changing one letter, and supply a new definition. Here are this year's winners:

1. Intaxication: Euphoria at getting a tax refund, which lasts until you realize it was your money to start with.

2. Reintarnation: Coming back to life as a hillbilly.

3. Bozone (n.): The substance surrounding stupid people that stops bright ideas from penetrating. The bozone layer, unfortunately, shows little sign of breaking down in the near future.

4. Foreploy: Any misrepresentation about yourself for the purpose of
getting laid.

5. Cashtration (n.): The act of buying a house, which renders the subject financially impotent for an indefinite period.

6. Giraffiti: Vandalism spray-painted very, very high.

7. Sarchasm: The gulf between the author of sarcastic wit and the person who doesn't get it.

8. Inoculatte: To take coffee intravenously when you are running late.

9. Hipatitis: Terminal coolness.

10. Osteopornosis: A degenerate disease. (This one got extra credit.)

11. Karmageddon: It's like, when everybody is sending off all these really bad vibes, right? And then, like, the Earth explodes and it's like, a serious bummer.

12. Decafalon (n.): The grueling event of getting through the day consuming only things that are good for you.

13. Glibido: All talk and no action.

14. Dopeler effect: The tendency of stupid ideas to seem smarter when they come at you rapidly.

15. Arachnoleptic fit (n.): The frantic dance performed just after you've accidentally walked through a spider web.

16. Beelzebug (n.): Satan in the form of a mosquito, that gets into your bedroom at three in the morning and cannot be cast out.

17. Caterpallor (n.): The color you turn after finding half a worm in the fruit you're eating.

And the pick of the literature:

18. Ignoranus: A person who's both stupid and an a*seh0le.

You're born, you keep your head down and you die. If you're lucky...

Fake.

It was a woman who drove me to drink, and I never had the courtesy to thank her for it.
The cost of living has gone up another dollar a quart.Somebody left the cork out of my lunch.

No, a fake is something or somebody who sets out to deceive.

This was a piss take.

But I'll label things more clearly in the future for those who struggle to tell the difference...

Are you a Mensa Member or one that believes every junk email that hits your Inbox?

I have Been a Mensa Member since 1983.

You've missed the point and allowed the bug up your ass to get in the way of a bit of humour.

I got an email that was clearly a joke, but still funny and thought others might also see the funny side.

I'm not a member of Mensa nor would I ever be able to pass the grade should I try, but I wouldn't want to.

Again just to point it out to any other Mensa members who might be struggling.

IT WAS A JOKE..!

Thats my Mission here.

That statement implies presence of forethought rather than as I suspect, some unique form of FTS (Forum Tourettes Syndrome)…
